+libmanette offers painless access to game controllers, from any
+programming language and with little dependencies.
+
+It supports the de-facto standard gamepad, as defined by the W3C
+standard gamepad specification or as implemented by the SDL
+GameController. Convertion of raw gamepad events into usable ones
+is handled transparently using an embedded library of mappings in
+the popular SDL mapping string format.
+
+The API is inspired by the device and event handling of GDK, so
+anybody used to GTK should feel right at home.
